Robotically Assisted Surgery

Robotically assisted surgery is referred to as ‘Robotic Surgery’. This is an advanced, minimally invasive approach for performing complex major operations through small incisions. This type of surgical approach allows doctors to perform complex surgeries with more precision, flexibility and control than conventional techniques. The universally used robotic surgical equipment is the da Vinci surgical system from Intuitive Surgical, USA.

 

Surgeons are required to undergo specialised training to perform these robotic surgical procedures. Dr Hamzawala has acquired his training and certification from the renowned IRCAD, Strasbourg, France. He combines the benefits of this state of the art modern technology and his extensive robotic surgical experience both from the UK and India, in performing various gynaec & gynaec-cancer procedures. He has overseen over 800 robotic assisted surgeries in Mumbai.

​

 

Common Gynaec & Gynaec-Cancer procedures done Robotically by 

Dr Hamzawala include:

​

  • Hysterectomy (removal of uterus and cervix)

  • Saplingo-oophorectomy (removal of tubes and ovaries)

  • Myomectomy (removal of fibroids)

  • Pelvic organ prolapse repair

  • Endometriosis excision

  • Lymph node dissection (in cases of cancer)

Endo Wrist Instruments

Da Vinci Surgical Robot

 

The da Vinci Surgical System consists of a magnified 3D full high-definition vision system and tiny, wristed instruments that bend and rotate far greater than the human wrist. As a result, the surgeon operates with enhanced vision, precision, dexterity and control.

 

The three main components are:

​

1. Surgeon console

This is where the surgeon sits during the procedure. Here the surgeon is able to see a magnified 3D HD view of the anatomical structures and carries out the procedures using the ergonomically designed instruments. The instruments replicate the surgeon’s hand movements.

 

2. Patient Cart

This cart is positioned near the patient on the operating table. It includes four robotic arms which house the robotic instruments. These instruments enter the surgical space via robotic ports. These instruments move in real time responding to the surgeon’s hand movements at the surgeon’s console. 7 degrees of movement offered by the robotic arms are more dexterous than the human hand.

​

3. Vision Cart

The vision cart has a high resolution viewing monitor. The entire surgical team can view the procedure from here.

Benefits of Robotically Assisted Surgery

​

  • Smaller incisions - minimal scar formation with superior cosmetic outcome.

  • Minimal blood loss - significantly reducing the risk of blood transfusion.

  • Significantly less post-operative pain and reduced risk of infection.

  • Faster recovery - shorter hospital stay and smooth transition to normal active life.

  • 10 times magnified and a ‘3D HD’ vision improves surgical efficiency and safety.

  • Delicate and complicated procedures can now be performed using the robotic system, which once may have been deemed difficult or impossible with conventional methods.
